CREATING THE WORLD of andromeda

DESIGNING the Dream

Andromeda and Ella

The visual language of the film was very important and we wanted to create the feelings of dreams and memory as being 'underwater'. As blue and water are the color and element of Andromeda in the film, and red and fire the color and element of the villain Mason, I worked closely with the Art Department and DP Logan Triplett and the amazing lighting team to create this childlike dream environment. Below you can see my initial concept art, piecing together a mermaid's grotto or fantastical womb, from which our Android would be given life.

We worked very collaboratively to ensure that every design element supported the Story idea that Andromeda's journey begins in the Ocean and she reaches her final home in the Stars. From the Storybook that Ella reads to the painted reliefs on the walls, to the twinkle lights that pepper the scene, everything was designed to create a sense of visual unity with the concept of going home to the stars.

When Andromeda receives this 'Heart' it begins the process of her becoming human. On the necklace is engraved a mermaid with her hand around the throat of a sea creature, foreshadowing the conflict of Andromeda and Mason in the film.

Ella's Storybook

The main driver of the fantastical meta-story, Ella's Storybook foreshadows the conflict of the film and Andromeda's transcendence.

Ella's Dollhouse

Created by Propsmaster / Art Department Assistant, Nak Yong Choi, Ella's Dollhouse serves as a motif of a Home among the Stars.
